The National Council of Les Intellectuels et Ouvriers Patriotes du Quebec – Mouvement Communiste Quebecois (marxiste-leniniste) held a very important meeting. This meeting was held at a time when the working and oppressed people of the whole world are proudly celebrating the first centenary of the birth of Great Lenin and are enthusiastically responding to the solemn statement issued by Chairman Mao on May 20, 1970, to the people of the whole world, and when the Canadian proletariat, the closest ally of the working class and people of Quebec, is advancing its struggle under the leadership of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist).

At this meeting, the National Council unanimously and rigorously voted to dissolve the I.O.P.Q. (ML) and its National Council, and in its place declared the formation of the Communist Party of Quebec (Marxist-Leninist) based on Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought and announced the formation of its Central Organizing Committee. The Central Organizing Committee immediately began its activities and officially nominated Comrade Denis Mailloux as leading spokesman of the Party, attended by delegates from the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), the American Communist Workers Movement (Marxist-Leninist), the Hindustani Ghadar Party, and the Irish Communist Movement (Marxist-Leninist).

The formation of the Communist Party of Quebec (Marxist-Leninist) is yet another victory for Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought and a first historic step towards the national liberation struggle of the people of Quebec against Anglo-Canadian colonialism and. U.S. imperialism, a great historic step towards establishing the People’s Republic of Quebec together with the People’s Republic of Canada in mutual respect, independence and self-determination of the two countries.
